COMET CENTRAL

Welcome aboard. There's an answer to any question here. Enjoy your retirement. Do it right and you'll wonder how you ever had time to work. No better way to start it than with a Comet build. Jim

My son-in-law turned me on to using Shell Rotella T. It's actually intended as a multi-grade diesel motor oil, but is fine for gas engines as well. The benefit is that it contains 3 - 9% zinc, as well as 1 - 5% polymer additives. It's designed for the high temps and wear and tear of big diesels, exc...

Nuts would be a mild description!

That was a good deal. The only full set of rockers and wheel trims for a Cyclone that I've seen was $1,000. I gotta keep looking.

There is a wealth of information to be gained here. Question for the experts: Wasn't one of the more obvious visual tip-...

Tristan......I'm located in Lexington, so not too far from you. How about updating this post or PM me if you go to see this guy. I could use a few parts for my 65 Cyclone.

Jim

Comechero will now have matching mirrors. I have all the parts but one so if it's made to be a remote I could turn it into a pass side remote as well. Just need the large bezel nut that mounts the control to the door. Ron....did you ever find a source for the large bezel nut? I have a left-hand rem...

AutoKrafters has an insert kit for $40. It's wood grained, like used on the Caliente. Not sure if the 64 Cyclone used wood grained or black.
